Yesterday Breitbart News<\/a> reported a puzzling comment by House Majority Whip James Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat. Representative Clyburn was being interviewed on Fox Business Network by Neil Cavuto. The article includes part of the transcript of that interview.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

NEIL CAVUTO<\/span>: As you\u2019ve been seeing with Michael Bloomberg, he\u2019s been jumping in the polls on the heels of his very expensive, pricey ad buys if you include $125 million slated for Super Tuesday. Could you, would you back him?<\/strong><\/p>\n

REP. JAMES CLYBURN<\/span>: I\u2019m going to back whoever our nominee is \u2014 Absolutely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CAVUTO<\/span>: Even with the things he\u2019s said about African-Americans? Does that bother you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

REP. CLYBURN<\/span>: Not as much as what Trump has said about African-Americans. Anytime that I go to the polls, I\u2019m considering positives and negatives on all candidates and I try to go with the one whose positives outweigh the negatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CAVUTO<\/span>: Let\u2019s leave the words aside, whether you like his style or not, tweets or not, or comments or not, he\u2019s delivered the goods for a lot of African-Americans. Does he not with record-low unemployment levels?\u2026 You don\u2019t think that\u2019s something that\u2019s constructive?<\/strong><\/p>\n

REP. CLYBURN<\/span>: No, because it\u2019s not true.\u00a0I\u2019m saying that the African American unemployment is not the lowest it\u2019s ever been unless you count slavery\u2026 We were fully employed during slavery. So, it all depends how you measure this up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is how blind hatred affects judgement.<\/p>\n

On February 7, 2020, CNS News<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

Trump loves to boast and exaggerate, so it’s easy to throw out little “Pinocchio” ratings when Trump claims we have the lowest black unemployment rate in American history, since it’s only been measured since 1972. But it’s literally the lowest ever measured in American history. What the fact-checkers are doing is littering achievements with asterisks, trying to distract from the undeniable fact that unemployment is at record lows for blacks, Hispanics, women, the disabled and undoubtedly other groups Democrats claim to champion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the link to the Bureau of Labor Statistics website page<\/a> that has all of the unemployment statistics. You can explore that page for pure numbers. We should all celebrate the fact that the Trump economy has been good to all Americans of all backgrounds.<\/p>\n
